I joined Stantec in October 2023 as a graduate geographic information system (GIS) analyst in the Leeds office. My role within the Digital Services team involves working on projects across the UK water industry. We strive to deliver meaningful data-driven insights to projects as innovatively and efficiently as possible for both internal teams and clients. This can take the form of data visualisation via maps, dashboards, and Environmental Systems Research Institute (Esri) experiences, or the development of unique automated geospatial analysis tools, to help streamline and optimise project work.
Since joining Stantec, I’ve worked analytically on a range of projects that include GIS-based contaminated land and pollution pathway assessments. Working with my team, I tested the performance and viability of multiple, newer smart monitor types for observing water quality, both in the wastewater network for signalling levels and in the river watercourse. It was rewarding to be using data-driven techniques to inform decisionmaking towards improved river health.
